Sally Owens
So many of the stories and movies that depict witchcraft portray it as something dark and evil. Practical Magic, and Alice Hoffman’s novels as a whole, do not.That’s an important note for the movie. The Owens women practice magic and believe in their craft, but they aren’t the bad guys, and they aren’t the devil-worshiping villains that they are painted as. When Sally finds herself and Gillian in the middle of the investigation into Jimmy’s disappearance, she is confronted with the rumors abo...
Gilly Owens
Sally Owens seems to want nothing more than to hide in a corner during much of Practical Magic. She maintains that she loves her perfect love and she works hard to not make waves in town despite the reputation her family has. Her sister, however, has no problem being the center of attention and dragging Sally to the middle of everything with her. She wants people to talk about her to her face instead of behind her back. That’s why, when Gilly shows up at a school meeting Sally is attending, s...
Sally Owens
When Gary Hallet is tasked with investigating the disappearance of Gilly’s latest boyfriend, he spends a lot of time talking to everyone in town, but he also takes a particular interest in Sally. He lets slip that he knows people think she and her family are witches by responding “witch people” to her question of “which people” use belladonna to poison others.Sally has found herself unable to lie to him up until that point, but she takes his comment to mean he’s just like everyone else in tow...
Gary Hallet
From the moment Sally meets Gary, she feels like she cannot tell him a lie. She knows she has to protect herself and her sister, but there’s something that makes her want to talk to him. For his part, he knows he’s supposed to be investigating the sisters, but he can’t help but enjoy spending time with Sally as well. Sally finally realizes that everything about him matches up with a spell she cast when she was a little girl to prevent herself from falling in love, and she can’t help but tell...
Aunt Frances
Aunt Jet and Aunt Frances team up to create a seemingly strange concoction in their kitchen. They trade off on naming ingredients in their recipe that the audience might initially think is a spell, but when Aunt Frances gets to this line, it’s clear what they’re making is a little more modern. With the help of a blender, Frances and Jet make “midnight margaritas” for themselves, Sally, and Gilly. The drinking on screen reportedly happened off screen as well as the four actors got completely i...
Sally Owens
Out of context, this particular Practical Magic quote from Sally Owens sounds mean-spirited, but it’s not in the movie. The Owens women are more than ready to poke fun at one another and take the things that others dislike about them to give themselves power. Gillian loves to fall in love. Outside the family, that’s frowned upon, and she knows how people see her, which is why she also tells women to “lock up their husbands” when she’s back in town. The aunts and Sally, however, love Gillian f...
Aunt Jet
When Practical Magic begins, Sally Owens isn't as enamored with the family's craft as her sister, her aunts, or her daughters. She blames magic for the loss of her parents and the loss of her husband. She wants a "normal" life. That doesn't stop her from turning to magic to help her sister though - and to find it backfiring on her yet again. As her Aunt Jet points out in this Practical Magic quote, it's not possible for Sally to fully commit to using the craft when she's continually against i...
Gary Hallet
Part of the reason Sally spends too much time avoiding magic is that she knows it's real.She understands the power of the family curse, and she's terrified of it. She thinks if she avoids magic completely, it might not affect her. The detective who develops feelings for her while he searches for Gilly's ex-boyfriend, however, doesn't believe in magic. He doesn't understand why the Owens women are seen as witches and doesn't understand Sally's reluctance to admit her interest in them. Despite...
Aunt Jet
At the climax of the movie, Sally needs to build herself a coven to help get rid of the spirit of Gilly's ex for good.That's easier said than done when she keeps to herself and most of the inhabitants of her small town talk about her behind her back. She calls in the phone tree for her daughter's class, and it turns out to be one of the best decisions she could have made, as the women prove that despite the gossip, they do care. Some of them even recount stories of magical moments in their ow...
Sally And Gilly Owens
This quote is said twice in the film and really symbolizes the deep bond between Gilly and Sally, even when they are apart. It is first said when Gilly decides to leave their aunts' house and the small town she and Sally grew up in. All through their youth, Sally and Gilly were scorned by their neighbors and townsfolk for being witches, so when Gilly leaves, Sally is afraid she will never see her sister again. Gilly decides to comfort her sister, making a blood pact with her.She cuts both of...
